RE: LOXAHATCHEE RIVER DISTRICT (ENCON) STORMWATER UTILITY MANAGEMENT
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS;
I WISH TO THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY REQUEST FOR A SEAT ON THE ABOVE
REFERENCED COMMITTEE. I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF PALM BEACH COUNTY FOR 42 YEARS
AND HAVE RESIDED IN THE JUPITER/TEQUESTA AREA SINCE 1972, THE LAST 5 YEARS IN
TEQUESTA PINES.
I AM A PH.D. MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND OWN A CONSULTING ENGINEERING FIRM. I HAD
BEEN AN ACTIVE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER AND RESIDENTIAL HOME BUILDER IN THIS
COUNTY FOR OVER 20 YEARS. CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE SOME TECHNICAL EXPERTISE THAT
MAY PROVE WORTHWHILE TO THE COMMITTEE, AND MAY ALLOW ME TO EXERCISE A FAIR
LEVEL OF JUDGEMENT TOWARD THE STORMWATER ISSUES THAT WILL ARISE. ANY UNUSUAL
COMMITTEE MEETING HOURS ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM FOR ME.
I AM 48 YEARS OLD, HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 21 YEARS, HAVE SIRED 2 CHILDREN THAT
ATTEND BOTH JUPITER MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS AND AM A MEMBER OF ST. JUDES AND
ST. PETERS PARISHES.
WHY DO I WANT TO SERVE ON THIS COMMITTEE ? THERE ARE TWO REASONS. FIRST, AS I
HAVE GROWN RIPER WITH AGE, I HAVE NOTICED A GROWING URGE TO RETURN SOME OF MY
GOOD FORTUNES TO MY FELLOW TRAVELERS. I WANT TO BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN LOCAL
ISSUES AND I NOW HAVE MORE TIME TO CONTRIBUTE. SECONDLY, THIS IS A GOOD CHANCE
FOR ME TO USE MY TECHNICAL BACKGROUND TO DIRECTLY BENEFIT MY COMMUNITY.
PLEASE GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND CONSIDERATION.
SINCERELY, //J
